The Burger Joint / Hamborgarabúllan


I had been in Reykjavik for a total of seven hours. Dawn and sunset had already occurred. I was exhausted from the overnight flight and starving. I was finally warm having switched out of my ill-thought adidas and into freshly bought hiking boots and looking to get warm on the inside as well. 
This is I came across a small, warmly-lit "restaurant" located in the middle of a traffic triangle. It was like a snowy oasis. The sign outside said...

I knew I was home.  

I went inside, talked to the friendly staff and ordered their recommended angus burger with a side of fries. It was decent-sized (I could have eaten two), juicy and DELICIOUS. Then a thought came to my mind... "This is better than Shake Shack."

I am a burger aficionado and I love me some Shake Shake. The small, crispy patty with lettuce and tomato has satisfied my cravings more times than I can count but... this BEATS Shake Shack. 

Burgerjoint has several locations around Reykjavik but I went to the one on Geirsgata. Check it out!

If you've had burgers from both places, do you agree that Burgerjoint is better? I'd love to hear your opinions.
